[Hugsy_Malone]

I have to thank Ilov80s for doing Sufjan in the MAD thread. I would not have known about his Christams album otherwise. Same to Eephus for the Low song. Happy Holidays to my brothers and sisters from the music threads, threads that give year-round.

eta* Yeah, I've had the Sufjan album on for the past forty minutes or so. It's so good. I could probably pick from it for all the categories except for overplayed and bad.

 

[Eephus]

I've added Instrumentals as an 11th category

RIP Mimi Parker

 

[Hugsy_Malone]

RIP Mimi Parker

I was going to say that but forgot her name. So I was going to look it up, but I was texting with my nephew and it shot totally out of my mind. I then posted without it.

RIP

So sad.

"Pretty Paper" - Willie Nelson (Country)

Pretty Paper

Willie Nelson · Song · 1979

open.spotify.com

Willie wrote the song for Roy Orbison and recorded it at least five times himself with various collaborators. This version from 1979 is my favorite tonight although the one he does with Asleep at the Wheel might be tomorrow.

I was going to complain about West Coast Bias but in the spirit of Christmas I let it go.

I’m willing to take what’s left over. I mean there’s a lot of Christmas songs out there.

I usually go to bed around midnight, and I am usually on this board just before bed, so it's not really much of an effort for me to post something at 12:01.

Country/Acoustic

Lyle is a genre blender, but his country roots usually weave through his music in some form. This goes out to k4, not because she is a hooker like the girl in the song, but because she is a Lyle fan like me.

The Girl With The Holiday Smile - Lyle Lovett


Religious/Traditional

Christmas music always reminds me of my mom playing the Christmas album that has the album cover of Johnny standing in the snow with skis.

What Child is This? - Johnny Mathis (with Percy Faith and His Orchestra)

eta* Yeah, I've had the Sufjan album on for the past forty minutes or so. It's so good. I could probably pick from it for all the categories except for overplayed and bad.

I was going to pick the same two artists, but different songs. Maybe I still will.

I wasn't going to allow makeup picks but I like the idea of having that Mariah Carey song appear twice on the Overplayed list. I may pick it again if the roll comes up.

I’ve got some foreign language songs under consideration, but I was just planning on putting under whatever category I thought fit the best.

 

[krista4]

Does my favorite genre - gloomy singer-songwriters - go under country?

 

[Don Quixote]

Does my favorite genre - gloomy singer-songwriters - go under country?

There is a category for “sad/depressing/wistful/anti-holiday” — I don’t know if the song you have in mind could fit better there. (But no rule preventing you from putting under both either.)

The Roches holiday album We Three Kings is excellent even though they put "The Hallelujah Chorus" on one of their regular albums, as the opening track no less. I'm sure their record label was ecstatic about that one.

Might be a bit of a challenge but new Christmas music, maybe things released in the last 10 years? Or at least this millennia

These are all great category ideas but we're supposed to be narrowing things down

If need to narrow it down, I’d say don’t narrow it. I like Pip’s idea of stuff that may not fit in the others (or just put in it whatever you want). This is the FFA — call it a “Free for all”.
